Permits voter to take photograph of own voted ballot and share it on Internet-based social media.

This bill (A2499) amends New Jersey law to explicitly permit voters to photograph their own voted ballots in polling booths and share those photos on internet-based social media platforms. It directly affects voters participating in New Jersey elections by adding a specific exception to existing ballot secrecy rules. The key provision clarifies that current prohibitions against showing or inspecting voted ballots do not apply when a voter voluntarily takes and shares a photo of their own ballot. This does not change other voting rules, such as restrictions on others requesting to see ballots or inspecting ballots in polling places.
